Component | SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | My daughter was attempting to hook her seatbelt before we left a parking lot and the buckle literally fell apart in her hand. This was a rear belt with no doors nearby so it had not been damaged in any way prior to its failure. Our concern is that had we been in an accident it would not have protected our child. The dealer says that we are responsible for the cost of the replacement as well. *ak |
